GPS compatible modems.

[Marc Murphy]

They are samples so will be on the default firmware, I will update them before trying again.

I guess I will have to put them into qmi mode as well.

What firmware version do you have on your MC7710? We got some cards
with old firmware, that wasn't working well with Linux, i.e. ttys were
not responding to AT commands. First with firmware updates I could get
the card working. Then I switched it to QMI mode and after that it was
working like a charm, comparable with it's successor MC73xx series.
